Ds8550 and Lighning 30 pin connector

Hi,

My 2nd gen Ipod packed up and before I go about purcharse a new one which has 6 pin connector, I would like to know whether the DS8550 is compatible with the Apple Lightning 30 pin connector, which is used to convert the 30 pin to 6 pin.
There is a lot of mixed reviews about the adapator, and Apple argues they cant design their product for all docking stations out there.

hi Sarka,
thanks for the attention.
Older gen ipod are not sold in retail anymore (unless ebay maybe). The only one available from Apple is 7th gen with 6 pin. and we "may" be able to convert 30 pin connector to 6 pin with this adaptorhttp://store.apple.com/uk/product/MD...apter?fnode=3c

Please advise if it could work on the Philips DS8850. While im not that bothered about the battery charging from the docking station, all I really want is playing being able to play audio (yet charging would be swell of course)

I have a different problem with my DS8550 because I did something really stupid!
My wife bought me this fine product about three years ago in the US...now we moved to Jersey UK and of course I took the docking station with me. The problem I faced here in the UK was of course the different plug, so I bought an universal AC plug which was a straight cable without any converter box or anything! You probably already can see where I am going with that but let me tell you it gave a small 'pop' noise and since then the station is not doing anything anymore! Is this a problem you can help me with (e.g. sending it in for repair) or is it more like a case for the bin? Please help...I used the DS every day so I am feeling very sad right now! Thank you in advance for any answer!
Daniel
